Assassin Bugs: A Texas Bug Killer

May 24, 2024 – Assassin Bugs are already out in force this spring. They are positioning themselves amongst our garden plants, and doing what they do best. They kill other bugs.

Assassin bugs are classified as beneficial insects. They prey on a variety of other insects and their eggs. They are susceptible to common pesticides.

Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis.
